Previous studies have validated the 133 Xenon ( 133 Xe) method to assess regional myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve (CFR). Doppler FloWire (DFW) has been used recently for measuring CFR to assess the physiological significance of coronary stenosis. Data obtained by DFW has never been c
Increased basal epicardial tone may attenuate the coronary flow reserve (CFR) by causing vasodilatation of resistance vessels. We examined the effect of basal epicardial tone on the endothelium-independent CFR measurements in subjects with nonobstructive coronary disease. Patients underwent evaluati
Although myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFRmyo) has been demonstrated to be a useful index for determining functional significance of coronary stenosis, the data in previous studies was derived from a highly selected group of patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of FFRmy
